John 14:22-31

Christian Standard Bible

²² Judas^(A) (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it you’re going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” ^(B)

²³ Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.^{(C) 24} The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.^(D)

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. ²⁶ But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit,^(E) whom the Father will send^(F) in my name, will teach you all things^(G) and remind you of everything I have told you.^(H)

²⁷ “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.^{(I) 28} You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away^(J) and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father,^(K) because the Father is greater than I.^{(L) 29} I have told you now before it happens^(M) so that when it does happen you may believe. ³⁰ I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world^(N) is coming. He has no power over me.^{[a](O) 31} On the contrary, so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do as the Father commanded me.

“Get up; let’s leave this place.
